While browsing causes on Facebook I came across a cause called "Church of the Flying Spagetti Monster". It has 25,489 members and $600 donated.

I have a pattern somewhere to crochet a flying spaghetti monster hat. While I was at Dragon Con this past August, I actually saw someone wearing one. AND someone dressed up in a flying spaghetti monster costume.

And that doesn't even address the little car magnets you can by that spoof Darwin Fish. Someone at work has those (and I work at a NASA installation, mind you!)

The Flying Spaghetti Monster has been around for several years. It started as a way to make a point about the dangers of requiring creationism to be taught in Kansas public schools, and it turned into a cult classic.

When my family discovered Pastafariansim, we were all instantly converted. We especially enjoyed frequent celebrations of Talk Like a Pirate Day. We've sort of grown away from Pasatafrianism over the last few years.

My daughter has a t-shirt that used to be available, but I don't see it in the store now. It's a comic strip style drawing of a caveman chasing a dinosaur, with the caption "Kansas Museum of Science". I just googled it but didn't find it. I guess the Kansas Museum of Science wasn't amused.
